I don't know how many people open their doors with their voice, but most of the other tech stuff has come true in one way or another.

How many of the "You Will" predictions have come true?
Remember the early 90s commercials from AT&T that asked various technology questions and then ended with Tom Selleck saying "You Will?" Someone on YouTube has put a montage of the ads and it's interesting that so many of these tech predictions/plans have actually come true.

Man, they had that GPS just about dead on. Theirs seemed a bit nicer than mine though.

Did not realize that was Tom Selleck.
Ironically, it was NOT AT&T that brought us a lot of that stuff. Or at least not publicly.

That isn't ironic.

Very Cool!
While it was a bit off with the doors, there are voice activated phones and hand free phones.

Yeah, well, the only thing AT&T has "brought me" lately is their POS network, which won't even let me place iPhone calls while sitting next to my office window.

Anyone else notice that the lady tucking her baby in from a pay phone is Jenna Elfman?
Also, looks like they missed on that one. Pay phones are almost useless these days. I can't see us ever installing video pay phones.

They're getting close to voice activated doors - I seem to recall MS is working with that sort of thing in prototype smart houses.

You mean a company that was in a position to see where technology was trending in the next several years got some of it right? Eerie.
